Hon. A. M. Stevenson, ex-State SEN
ator for this district, who has been one
Of Gunnison county's smartest attorn'
eys and best citizens, has decided to
remove to Glenwood Springs, where
he will locate. Gunnison City can ill
afford to loose her smartest citizens;
but Glenwood will be identified by one
Of the smartest attorneys and politicians
in the state. Although not in our
county, he is on our side of the divide
and helps to swell the population ofthe
Grand river valley. We wonder how
some of the politicians will prosper
now that "Stevy" has left them to

ment work as soon as possible. The
district has numerous properties that
are capable Of turning out pay ore
when properly opened up. Avalanche
creek promises to receive considerable
attention, and those owning property
are disclosing new bodies of ore as
work progresses. The large bodies of lead

the ore of Aspen requirers for its sue
cessful treatment, and as soon as rail-
road facilities connect these parts with
Aspen and the coal banks we may ex-
pect to see smelter erected.

UIXEY AND PATTI.
The Two Exchange COmpli IN en- IA
over PrOch's Variations
and Dog.

Henry Z. D.xey is the owner of
s.. b !rnsrd dog that weighs perhaps
800 pounds, and, after the fashion of
the lamb that wes platonically attached
t. Mary, this dog accompanies Mr..
DIX wherever Mr.. D.xey goes.
Twice across the ocean and all over
this continent makes Prince the most
extensive traveller Of the canine kind.
Day before yesterday Mr.. Dixey and
his 10 Viathan dog were having a romp
through the four or five rooms occu-
pied by the Clan Dixey at the Hotel
Rtchelleu, New York. First Mr..
d KEY would shut the deg up in the
folding bed and hide himself ia a
wardrobe; then the dog would break
away from the folding bed and begin
a hunt for Dlxey, humorousy tipping
over tabe ind chairs, as humorously
breaking the crockery, and still more
humoi ously acc Ompanying his Ia
bors with volcanic vocal erup-
lions, expressive of sfear, hope,
sniicipation, joy, etc. This play
lasted for about an hour. Mrs. Dixey
sitting in the font room meanwhile,
smiling contentedly AID thinking to
herself how much bet'er it was for
Henry to be passing quie. afternoon
at home than to be irittering away his
lime in the Company of ftivilous men
about town. Bat Mme. Patti, whose
apartments at the Richelieu are To-.
Gated directly under the Dixey rooms,
NUT have thought differently, for
while Mr.. d KEY and his dog were in
the mids Of their genial sport-or, we
might say, while the festivals were at
their hight-there clme knock at
the door and Nine. PATHS maid Her.
tense, looking like one cf the Two
0 'phans, presented this message !;
mime. Patti compemongs Nine DIX
see, and will Nine, Dix.see have re
goodness to make her leetle boy stop
to play wiz 70 dog?'
Mr.. Dixey was highly Indignant; he
did net care Sd much for himself, but
the insult to the dog he could sea cely
brook. Next morning, as he lay in
his bed, he became cognizlnt OF an
angelic voice soaring in song-a voice
go heavenly that it stayed not in the
porches OF his ear, but penetrated to
the lnneImUeJ ItCthotb vi MI DlAoy
soul and filed his whole being with
an ecstasy of ineffsble delights.
"Ids, my DEAR" called Mr.. Dixey to
his wife, who was sewing in the sdjoin.
| ipg Rom.
"What is it, Henry ?" she asked.
"Y u're in unusually good voics this
morning, my dear" said Mr.. Dixey.
az don't knew whan I've heard you
sing 80 pleasantly"
"Why. Henry" exclaimed Mrs.
Dixey. "I've not been singing. That
was Nine. Patti You hesrd-she is
prscl ising Proch's variations, and
| isn't it Just TOO lovelyw
But there was cold, meaningiul
glitter in Mr.. Dixey's eye SIS he
straiQhtway arose from his bed,
donned his trousers and put on one OF
his red Hibsrnian wigs. A few min
utes later, when in answer to a bru.
tai knock, Nine. Patti opened the
door of her parlor, the Incompatible

WILLIAM BkLCHER'S DREAM
Verified by the Death of HIS Great
brother, Henry Ward.

The Rev. William Beecher, an
elder brother Of Henry Ward
Beecher, has been resident of Chi
cago for a good many years. A few
years ago there was no more striking
figure on the streets than his, but of
late years he has been confined to
the house. Four or five years ago
he celebrated his eightieth birthday
by preaching a remarkable sermon at
the First Congregational Church.
At that time he bore his four score
years lightly, but since then he has
with every added year aged rapidly,
andiis now very feeble.
A few days before his brother was
stricken down Mr.. Beecher had a
dream, which he interpreted to his
daughter as an intimation that he
was soon to be called away. When
the family received the news of
Henry Ward Beecher's fatal illness
his daughters were in doubt as to
what course to pursue, fearing the
effect of the shock, They sent for
the family physician, who advised
that Mr.. Beecher be informed at
once as to the contents of the mes
sage. One of his daughters went to
his room and said: Father, you
we're mistaken as to the meaning Of
your dream. 1t was not you who was
to be called, but Uncle Henry"
After asking if Henry was dead,
and listening to the particulars, he
said: His work is done. | would
like to 90 in the same way"
Mr.. Beecher has always manifested
the greatest interest in his younger
brother, Henry, and, while not in
sympathy with him in some things,
has always been ready to say a good
word for him. Whenever Henry
Ward Beecher has appeared in the
pulpit or on the lecture platform in
Chicago some one of his brothers
family has been present, and it will
be remembered that when, some
years ago, Henry Ward Beecher was
taken suddenly i'll in the midst Of his
lecture at Central Music Hall, one
of the first persons to reach his side
was his niece, Mrs. Preussner.
